The college search and selection process can seem complex, overwhelming, and stressful to high schoolers and their families.  Working with an experienced independent educational consultant can help reduce everyone's anxiety and help the process go more smoothly.  Gisele is a private college consultant based in Colorado with 13 years of experience.  She has personally visited more than 150 different universities in the US and has worked with over 200 students from the United States, Mexico, and Europe.  This breadth of experience and exposure to different students and colleges has helped Gisele successfully match students with colleges in the US, Canada, and the UK.  Additionally, her background in student affairs at various colleges helps inform her practice with students, which centers around each student's needs and interests with tailored advice.

Gisele's philosophy as a consultant is to understand each student's personality and interests to help them find undergraduate programs that match their unique needs.  She works with students comprehensively: researching and evaluating colleges, preparing for college visits and interviews, finding appropriate summer enrichment options, and reviewing all aspects of the application process.  This includes reviewing and critiquing essays, outlining extracurricular activities, and reviewing letters of recommendation so that students authentically present their best selves to the admissions committees.  Gisele has been working with students virtually since she began her business. 

Testimonial from a Bluffton family: When we started our college experience, we were clueless, scared, and worried that we were not enough to make our daughter's dreams come true. After our first meeting with Gisele, all of our fears were eliminated. She was wonderful, encouraging, and inspiring. For us, she took control and had the knowledge to make dreams come true. For our daughter, she was everything - a friend, confidant, taskmaster, and counselor. We are beyond thankful for Gisele!!
